“I realized that silence is exhausting, and over time I felt that it became a burden that was difficult to carry.”
For me, this sentence is the shortest summary of what Mr. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has been through in the last 28 months.
Regardless of the main situation, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's silence is not a secondary preference, but a compulsion imposed by circumstances. This should be especially noted.
You know, for a long time Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu “silence” under the heading of "The crime". CHP administration, “Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu should speak up, not shut up” and wanted to make him a partner in their political predicament. They expected him to object to the corruption, bribery and extortion investigations in the CHP and to support the suspects.
However, this demand backfired. Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu made statements criticizing this dirty structure through the concept of purification. After he made evaluations in short messages centered on protecting the party's institutional identity, this time the CHP administration “Don't let Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu speak” and he raised hell by saying.
However, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, apart from expressing his discomfort in short notes of a few sentences, is, in his own words, constantly swallowing.
Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu has been insulted and slandered for speaking out from time to time and staying silent from time to time. These operations, carried out especially through the media, have been so unregulated that they have caused discomfort even among CHP opponents and people who are devoted to other parties.
In fact, this picture shows that the CHP leadership has either failed to grasp Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's political road map or is following a deliberate strategy of pre-emption.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu was asked about the 38th Ordinary Assembly “I don't know if it is shady or not; ask Erdoğan who said ‘shady congress’. It is Mr. Özgür and his administration who should answer Erdoğan.” he said. I believe that this statement again aims to protect the CHP.
With these words, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu actually defines his own position and indicates that silence has emerged as a necessity.
For Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, silence is a heavy burden he has to carry.
Faced with the spiral of corruption and bribery in the CHP, especially in the municipalities, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu has two main options.
The first option is to loudly criticize what is going on in the CHP, including bribery and corruption. In this case, he would call himself “He criticizes his own party and harms the party he chairs” accusations will be leveled against him. For this reason, he warns with short messages, avoids high-pitched criticism and maintains his silence in order not to harm the CHP.
The second option is to loudly oppose the investigations against the CHP, object to the judiciary and politicize the process. However, while there is no judicial decision yet, the evidence suggests that the judiciary is merely counting the days until the announcement of the obvious. The arguments supporting the accusations against the CHP are quite strong. Since Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu sees this picture, he does not object to the judiciary and prefers to remain silent in order not to fall into a position of backing the guilty.
This process is popularly known as “down with the beard, up with the mustache” "the period described as a period of the past. In my opinion, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu is conducting this period in the right way, by constantly swallowing. “The impossibility of the third state” This is why the principle does not find a correspondence in his politics.
Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu has built his political struggle on the concepts of justice, morality and honesty. In fact, it was for this reason that he carried out the 450-kilometer Justice March from Ankara to Istanbul. This is also the reason why he did not make a single harsh statement, let alone walk 450 kilometers, during the investigation and prosecution process in the CHP today. It seems that he foresees that the outcome of this process will not be good for both the CHP and the current administration and he is only waiting for the announcement of the obvious.
At the end of the process, time will show that Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu has taken the right steps.
I evaluated this picture from my own point of view with a sentence from Hasan Cemal's book ‘Kimse Kızmasın Kendimi Yazdım’.
To put it more bluntly, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu closely follows everything and continues to carry silence like a burden by doing his part in the purification process.
Lastly, they asked Hazrat Ali: - Why are you stagnant?
Hazrat Ali replied: - The road is long, the enemy is tricky...
Let's not tell the rest.
